The MI Theme is definitely from the advert though I seem to remember watching this, like a wildlife on one spin off. IIRC it was advertised on Blue Peter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Yeah, if someone had shouted ‘bundle’ here they would have been referred to as Gay Tony for the rest of their school days. Then we’d have all piled on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chine Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 From recollection pile on was around the same time as de-bagging ( not to be confused with tea bagging ) … where some unlucky soul would be pounced on wrestled to the ground and dragged around by the underpants while the onlooking crowd cheered the attackers on . It usually stopped when the underwear was up near the chest region Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turns out the name of the road my mate lives in ( well it's his girlfriends house we stayed at) was Gordon's Drive , which could only go one way when you say it at 3am tbf annoying as it must have been after about 10 minutes of it ,the taxi driver did join in at some point , we declared him the winner cause he had a beard and thus had the extra advantage of looking the most like Prince Vultan I think he was quite chuffed , probably went home later to explain his victory to a bemused looking wife . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
